2024 Fragrance Foundation Awards Bestows Honors at Annual Industry Gala

Celebrating the best in fragrance from perfumer to packaging design.

The 2024 Fragrance Foundation Awards Ceremony celebrated 19 winners and inducted two special honorees last night at The David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center.

With a record-shattering 1,000 guests from the global fragrance industry in attendance, the festivities included celebrities, artists, designers and influencers.

Two of the highest honors were the Hall of Fame Award, which was bestowed to Givaudan CEO Gilles Andrier, and the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer honor, which was presented to Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, Bvlgari and Louis Vuitton Master Perfumer.

Following last year’s milestone of the Awards’ 50th anniversary, this year’s sold-out ceremony commemorated another landmark, The Fragrance Foundation’s 75th anniversary of its founding.

“Tonight’s ceremony was a magnificent celebration of outstanding winners, remarkable honorees, as well as a celebration of our impact in the US fragrance industry,” said TFF President Linda G. Levy. “It was a historic night for The Fragrance Foundation from the number of attendees to the number of years we have been building community for everyone who loves fragrance and welcoming the diversity across America to the wonderful world of fragrance.” She added, “The Awards are our way of continuing to inspire the world to discover the magic, passion and artistry of fragrance.”

Presenters included actress, supermodel and entrepreneur Christie Brinkley; Elle’s Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia; actress Julianna Margulies; fragrance founders including Mona Kattan, Chris Collins, Bernardo Möller and Giancarlo Perez; designers Anna Sui and Narciso Rodriguez; and actress Chase Sui Wonders among other attending designers including Francisco Costa, Rebecca Moses and Vera Wang.
